Situated just moments away from the shores of Silver Lake, the park is nestled in a region defined by towering sand dunes and lush forests. The surrounding area of Mears is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, offering easy access to the Silver Lake ORV Area, where visitors can drive on the dunes. The landscape transitions from the sandy expanses of the dunes to the cooling waters of Lake Michigan, providing a diverse environment for exploration that feels immersed in nature.

Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
No visit to Mears is complete without experiencing the Little Sable Point Lighthouse, a historic landmark offering stunning views of the coastline. Adventure seekers often head to Mac Wood’s Dune Rides or rent specialized vehicles to navigate the shifting sands. Beyond the dunes, the Hart-Montague Trail State Park offers miles of paved paths for biking and hiking through the scenic Michigan countryside. Local fruit farms and artisanal shops in the nearby town provide a charming way to spend an afternoon.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is an ideal choice for off-road enthusiasts and families who thrive on outdoor activities. Because of its extensive amenities and central location, it caters well to those planning a multi-day vacation rather than a quick overnight stop.

.very nice RV PARK. my only complaint is cutting grass after 3pm is not a good time when people are trying to enjoy the out doors grilling and trying to enjoy the quiet. Very rude & inconsiderate of your quest.

This is our second season staying at Sun Retreat, it has been an amazing 7 months here. We have great amenities and staff along with great neighbors. Looking forward to next year!

The silver lake sun retreat campground was very nice! We stayed in a one bedroom cottage and it had bunk beds in the hallway along with a full kitchen. The pool was very nice and heated. The jumping pillow and basketball courts were nice as well. Less than ten minutes to beach and restaurants.

We have stayed here several times. This year, we felt the price was not justified. They removed the dog park without any announcement. The woman in the office says they plan to move it by the playground, but why remove the current park in the meantime? This impacted our trip a great deal and we likely would have stayed elsewhere had we known this amenity was removed. Additionally, we arrived on Sunday and found the office was closed. Check in time is 3 pm and the office closed at 3 pm. That doesn't really seem like the most customer-friendly policy, does it? Lastly, there was a convoluted process involved in booking our cabin. Given all of this, it is unlikely we will return.

My family loved our stay! Lynn greeted us with a big smile and a warm welcome! She was the best and made sure we had everything we needed for our weekend trip! The campground was beautiful and very clean! We will definitely be camping here again! Highly recommend staying here!
